economy. it also reflects the changing realities of america's mailing habits. we would urge congress to eliminate any impediments to our new delivery schedule. market research conducted over the last few years has shown consistently high levels of support from the public for a new delivery schedule. just this morning, cbs news released a poll that said 71% of the public supports the new delivery schedule. the postal service also conducted a poll this weekend, which showed an 80% support level. although discussion about our delivery schedule gets a lot of attention, it is just one important part of a larger strategy to close our budget gap. it accounts for $2 billion in cost reductions while we are seeking to fill a $20 billion budget gap. during the 112 congress, the senate passed several reforms sought by the postal service. we do believe it can provide a framework for swift action in the current congress. there are several key provisions needed and legislative reforms for our business model. these include requiring the postal service to sponsor its own health

getting by" is no longer a true measure of success, not if our real goal is to create a more vibrant economy and a higher quality of life for our people. our focus needs to be not just on the present -- but on five, 10, even 25 years from now. my immediate goal during the recession was to help our families and businesses survive. but merely surviving was not enough. so we also acted strategically to preserve our ability to make investments in our people and investments in our people and infrastructure that

the productivity and the economy is 100% greater. and the workers who aret the low-wage end are far more educated now than they were then. we have an economy that has not benefited most people over three decades. what is important about the minimum wage is that we need to start having standards where the employers are now competing gai against each other as to who can underpay their workers. >> yes. >> and provide and give the least of the workers. so one small employer may have minimum wage workers and when they raise the minimum wage, all of the other small employers in the same industry are going to have to pay the workers more. if one is hurt more than the other, it is because they are competing based on having lower wages. we need to have a labor standard, a wage floor. this is what i disagree with the president somewhat on this, and i think about it as christine owens does, because it is not a poverty thing, because we want to help the low-wage workers, but it is an adult working women's issue, and they live in families of 60th

economy. it is maybe the best investment you can make because you confront the fact that today, the president said only one out of three kids in the country are in high-quality preschool, and they're not ready to learn. we spend a lot more money once they get to the public education system to try to get them up to speed. you get them ready before they show up to school. and when other kids that have access to early childhood education are likely to earn more money later on in life and put that money back in the treasury. if you want to create a generation of generators, that is the biggest problem with the deficit. it is really a consequence of less money coming into the economy because of a slow economic growth rate. preschool is the best way to start moving kids to the point of it will be able to earn a lot of money that they can pay back to the treasury. it is a smart investment. when we look at all the places that we could spend money, it gets you the best bang for your buck. >> president
